Entry 1_3/14/07
1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?
All the research projects that I have done in 6th grade, 7th grade, 8th grade, etc.
2. Based on these projects, what does research mean to you?
I think that research is very annoying and tedious. I hate using Net Snippets, Noodlebib, or any other online research "aids".
3. Describe one of your research successes or failures. Why was the experience positive or negative?
One research failure that I have had was The labyrinth project in Mrs. Daquanno's class. Noodlebib and Net Snippets kept messing up and it took forever. Teacher Response 3-15-07
For question one, we wanted you to tell us about some of the projects you had done. It is very obvious that all of the research projects from 6th - 8th grade are projects you have done. For question 2, we wanted to know what you think the word "research" means, not how you feel about it. Take care go answer the questions thoroughly and think about your answers carefully.

1. I think the webbing process helped/did not help me find a topic because:
I already had a good topic in mind and I didn't need to find 3 different topics and details about each. All the rest of my ides were just to fill up space. Teacher Response 3-23-07

1. Describe how the pre-notetaking sheet helped you find both focus for your topic and research questions to investigate. Did you find it easy or difficult to create a fat question from your ideas?
It was a little hard to think of a fat question but Mrs. DaQuanno helped me. I think that the questions that I have brainstormed will help me research my topic. Teacher Response 3-23-07
